MAGNA 77F De GES Magna 77F comes close to being the perfect universal oxyacetylene application maintenance alloy. It has an ideal combination of all properties. (This one alloy does everything usually requiring up to 8 rods to do). Some of its special features follow: 4. Versatility. Magna 77F can be used on nearty all metals including: Cast Iron All Steels Galvanized Iron Bronze Nickel Stainless Steel Brass ‘Monel Aluminium Bronze It can be used for both joining and building up. 2. High Physical Properties. Has tensile strength double that of most ‘ordinary brazing rods. The high strength gives great assurance that the braze will not fail, Tensile Strength: Up to 56 Kgimm? (80,000 p.s.i) 150 - 220 Brinell Hardness 3. Low Co-efficient of Friction. The deposit has a ‘self-lubricating’ action ‘The deposit is very easy to machine, yet work hardens in service so that it actually outwears steel on frictional wear applications. When subjected to ‘wear, the deposit becomes slick and the wearing part then tends to slip over the Magna 77F deposit so that neither part wears. It is this unique low co-efficient of friction that makes Magna 77F so outstanding for overlay and build-up work. Magna 77F is especially appreciated in the maintenance department as a ‘machinable over- lay alloy for building up such parts as: Shafts Bosses Key Ways Valves ‘Threaded Sections Bearings.

Magna 77F has the flux extruded on the alloy. The flux is very special in that it will readily bond the deposit to dirty ‘metal, rusty metal, and gives it special affinity for cast iron. ‘The flux coating and the core wire are so formulated and calibrated that the alloy will bond at much lower temperatures than brazing rods. It can actually be applied at a black heat, whereas brazing rods usually require @ ‘cherry red heat in the base metal, This low application heat makes the job faster and prevents warpage, distortion and grain growth. 5. Non-Peeling. The amazing feature of Magna 77F is its ability to permeate grain boundaries and to hold tenaciously. It will not peel as some ordinary ‘brazing rods do, SUI Magna 77F will bond and give good results over dirty and rusty metal, however, prepare surface by cleaning where possible. Larger and heavier sections will join and hold better if they are ground to form a ‘V joint, approximately 60°- 90° angle Set the oxyacetylene torch to @ balanced neutral flame, a slight excess of oxygen is permissible, but do not use an excess of acetylene. Extensive preheating is not necessary, just apply locally where weld is to commence. When a dull red colour is achieved begin to apply Magna 77F using a brazing technique. Direct inner tip of flame on to welding alloy and as each drop is transferred spread over base metal using the torch. Continue applying in this manner. For superior results ensure an even coating of welding alloy is applied over the entire surface, patchy or ‘balling’ deposits weaken the bond of Magna 77F. Um When applying Magna 77F to bronze, copper, cast iron or crack sensitive high alloy steel, preheating over a wide area is required for optimum results. Where application will cause strain under restricted conditions, extensive preheating 420°C (800°F, to all areas is essential to prevent cracking, © conyers sens apni sen ro me change fraverstrnrcngvepatoma curtis (BREE [rn 10 Rian 0 — [Re ie abr eaten RET]
